The initial workshop to develop the Cuando River Basin Report Card took place from 9–11 March, 2020 in Kasane, Botswana. More than 35 diverse stakeholders from 19 institutions came together at this workshop to conceptualize the river basin, create a shared vision, and discuss indicators for the Cuando River Basin Report Card. The report card aims to strengthen transboundary water governance and inclusive decision making mechanisms across the four countries that the basin transverses: Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, and Angola.

The report card is part of a larger project “Water Partnership for a Resilient Kwando Basin”, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and supported by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF), the Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM) and the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA).
